About BrightFound SEO

BrightFound SEO helps local and small businesses pick SEO tools that fit their budget and the work they actually do. It's run by Ron, who builds and looks after websites for small businesses at Ron the Web Guy.

What you'll find here

Plain-English guides to SEO tools: rank trackers, keyword research tools, local SEO and citation tools, and the big all-in-one suites. Each guide gives you the answer up top, says who each tool fits and who should skip it, and links to the tool's current pricing.

How I pick

I look at what a one-person shop or a small service business really needs, not what an agency with 50 clients needs. I use the tools myself, read each vendor's own documentation, and check pricing on the vendor's site. Prices change often, so every guide says when it was last checked.

How BrightFound SEO makes money

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up for a tool through one of them, the company may pay me a commission at no extra cost to you. Not every tool I cover has an affiliate program, and tools without one get the same honest treatment. Commissions don't decide which tools I recommend.

Independent
